Whisper. |
Without commenting on the discussion around her Whisper starts shedding clothing, removing bulkier layers that would hinder her movement. Her light crossbow and backpackfinds their place with her clothes and she gathers them all up in a bundle before moving away from the group. Quickly she squirrels them away somewhere she deems to be a safe enough hiding spot for an hour or two before silently walking to the water's edge and preparing to dive in.

As Captain Forzakhad,Finn, Guard,Ithaniar and It move to retrieve a boat ,whispers dives into the cool water of the bay. The water slides around her as she makes her way to the ship,in the days fadeing light.

As whisper swims the bay the rest of the group makes there way to the boat tied at the end of the second pier. As he sun touches the horizon whisper is deep in the coming shadow as she approaches the ship. Three men can be seen on board armed with crossbows of some kind. Two on the main deck one on the quarter deck. They scan the bay with sharp eyes as night nears
Whipser I need a stealth check,a climb for boarding and a 2nd stealth fo being on the ship.The others are 8 rounds out with hard rowing..16 at a more standred pace.

Stealth, climb, stealth (1d20+7=23, 1d20+4=19, 1d20+7=15)
Whisper swims quietly out to the boat and climbs on board as quietly as she can without knowing the layout, especially where would be good to hide.

Shamus looks distort and goes to wave off the boat pocketing the copper "well donaya be throwing stuff at me "

You see nothing But a few ropes.More figures seem to emerge from the cabins, It looks as if the ship is preparing to sail.
Suddenly there seems to be some commotion onboard, The main on the deck seems to be aiming his crossbow at something on deck!
Whisper
You see a rope ladder, close to the side. As you move toward it the cabin door opens and two figurers come out.
"Prepare the ship for sail"
One with a scare says, the woman with him moves toward the ships wheel.
Two others come from the 2nd door and start toward the sails. One of the men look toward the scared man and says
"Vark there seems to be a Boat headed this way"
Varks looks at the man" well wave em off ya sodden fishbait or put em full of shot!"
"Someone on board!"
several yell shamus on the far deck and 2 coming from a cabin have spotted whisper. She is 10 feet from the edge and has been seen.

Verk looks down at whisper "Oh lass, I think we's can find a good use for ya all right"
Most of his crew chuckle and leer. The lone woman on board speaks "I dona trust her skinny ares at all verk, trow her off or kill her now!"
He looks whisper over and looks up to two of the new arrivals. "Take her to the hold tie her up if she gives ya any trouble feed her to the cargo"
The two me get disturbing grins as they move to take whisper to the hold.
Then one of the crossbowmen speaks.
"VERK! That bout be still acoomming"
He looks over to the man. "Well put some shots over em and wave the wangers off !

Both men burst into laughter as the grab whisper and start to haul her into the dark hold

Before I finish my post ,I will allow a charge with the boat. This will allow you to close the distance in one round ,however you will not be able to stop before you slam into the Nixie. Everyone on the boat who is not rowing will have to make reflex saves or be hurled off into the water,the hull, or the floor of the boat. Furthermore your actions will be clear to the men on the ship and will be taken as hostel.If you want to do this let me know.
Guard |
"Not too fast... easy.. easy... we are all unproficient on the water.."
No charge please.
Uh-hu...
I would not have decided for a charge as well, but Guard's not the 'Captain'. hehGuard keeps rowing his rhythm, trying to get the boat alongside the ship somewhere where it would be easy to get aboard.
